AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R"). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled "L"). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.

The AV receiver's optical digital jack has shutter-type
cover that open when an optical plug is inserted and
close when it's removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.
